http://robots.net/person/WhoPhlungPoo/diary.html?start=30If anyones interested in open source / free robotics
engineering tools, check out my latest work in progress @
www.roboshack.com. I have identified and tested nearly a
complete set of engineering tools all open source, in
other words free :). Including schematic capture, pcb
layout, rapid software development, bug tracking and
more. I'm still looking hard for an open source 3D
mechanical engineering tool suitable for what we do. You
will find some setup instructions and an automated script
to download and install all of the tools. Let me know
what you think.Sat, 4 Jun 2005 02:12:59 GMT4 Jun 2005http://robots.net/person/WhoPhlungPoo/diary.html?start=29
http://robots.net/person/WhoPhlungPoo/diary.html?start=29At last, June is here, anyone see any of the VIA Nano-ITX
motherboards in stock anywhere?Mon, 24 Jan 2005 09:34:35 GMT24 Jan 2005http://robots.net/person/WhoPhlungPoo/diary.html?start=28
http://robots.net/person/WhoPhlungPoo/diary.html?start=28Hello All,
<p> Still waiting patiently for the Nano-ITX motherboards,
prior to this month all of the distributors where saying
that they would have them available by Jan 2005. Now they
are saying June, anyone have any insight as to what
happened and if there's some way of getting one sooner,
maybe in a bare bone system?

<p> That is a most excellent piece of work, please post some
videos of your robot walking and moving when you have the
time. Sat, 3 Apr 2004 02:00:52 GMT3 Apr 2004http://robots.net/person/WhoPhlungPoo/diary.html?start=24
http://robots.net/person/WhoPhlungPoo/diary.html?start=24I know that what I am about to share isn't even the
slightest bit related to robotics, however, its definitely
work saying: my wife came home from the doctors office
this morning with a prescription that forbids her from
speaking for a period of no less than 72 hours. I was
totally and completely amazed at this, I'm planning on
going out tonight after work and purchasing at minimum a
dozen roses...... and send them to my doctor with a thank
you note attached. Not only did she manage to keep my wife
quite for 72 hours, my insurance covered the bill.....Tue, 23 Mar 2004 01:08:22 GMT23 Mar 2004http://robots.net/person/WhoPhlungPoo/diary.html?start=23
http://robots.net/person/WhoPhlungPoo/diary.html?start=23Hey Tim,
<p> How do you consider that a good news / bad news situation,
I see that as a GOOD news and More GOOD news situation;
I've been involved in manufacturing and what not for a
very long time and fully understand how all of this
works. The good news being, VIA is in the process of
manufacturing the Nano-ITX and the other good news is that
I will be able to get some. So what if I have to wait a
little more! I would have to say that a (standardized)
4.5in x 4.5in motherboard is well worth the wait.Sat, 20 Mar 2004 21:41:26 GMT20 Mar 2004http://robots.net/person/WhoPhlungPoo/diary.html?start=22
http://robots.net/person/WhoPhlungPoo/diary.html?start=22Awesome!!!!!!!
<p> I periodically check the VIA site for any info on the Nano-
ITX product, and finally, this very morning, the Nano-ITX
is under the listed products. Could this in fact mean
that we will be able to get our hands on them soon?
